Freight flows are converted to truck flows using:
Transportation agencies analyze highway deficiencies based on the number of vehicles traveling on highway facilities and comparing that demand to the capacity of those facilities. Freight Analysis Framework reports forecasts annual flows in tons between origins and destinations. In truck based models: Truck surveys are used for estimating choice parameter. Freight flows are converted into truck flows using payload factor. Payload factors are determined from truck surveys and weigh bridge data. (Average amount of load in different kind of vehicles can be determined by survey or weigh bridge)

What is the dependent variable in a regression based trip generation model?
Most trip production models are two- or three-way cross-classification tables with the dependent variable being trips per household or trips per person. The independent variables are most often income, auto ownership, and household size. The dependent variables would be the number of trips produced from each of the wards within the divided zones in the selected towns. The data pertaining to the number of trips produced from each of the ward can be obtained by conducting the socio-economic survey and forming the O-D matrix.
